The Phosbat is the infant form of the Vehemoth Phosbat. They can live only in dark environments such as caves and will take continuous damage as long as they are exposed to light such as that of Common Glowcaps. They can also appear from active phosbat pods.

The Phosbat is a species of Aerodentia in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. They resemble their original counterpart in Pikmin 3. These creatures are only found in the darkest of caves. Phosbats will wander around in groups, or spawn out of Phosbat Pods. If they spot Pikmin, they will run up to them and eat them. However, they are very frail and can be taken out in a few hits. Alternatively, Glowcaps or electrode circuits can be activated to produce light and scare away these creatures. Phosbats are mainly found around the Vehemoth Phosbat. When killed, they melt away.

Notes

Olimar's notes

The Phosbat is an infant form of its counterpart, the Vehemoth Phosbat. Being extremely sensitive to light due to the pheromones excreted from its body, the creature spends its whole life in caves. With underdeveloped wings and a very weak exterior, these creatures rely on their mothers for food. However, Phosbats may be able to overwhelm smaller prey in groups... at the exchange of casualties. Phosbats have no self-preservation.

Louie's notes

These small creatures are best eaten flame-grilled and seasoned on a stick of three! Add potatoes or other vegetables for more flavor.

President’s notes

Whenever I wake up in the morning, I’m always running away from light too. Maybe these creatures just woke up on the wrong side of the bed?

Overlord’s thoughts

Even a small, fragile animal can have such a ferocious bite. My children will grow up to become great Phosbat mothers; I expect their species to flourish well.

Attacks Eats Pikmin

Phosbats return in Pikmin: Infection in Progress, appearing in one area only, Fungal Grotto, in which a large quantity is present. The largest group is encountered in the back-left clearing in Fungal Grotto, with twenty-seven Phosbats crowding it. Defeating them all initiates the boss fight with the Vehemoth Phosbat. They do not perish when exposed to light, and if forced to, a Phosbat will waddle slowly through it with its eyes squinted.

Phosbats look almost identical to their Pikmin 3 incarnation, except for a few small differences. Their pupils glow white in the dark, contract when seeing predators or light, and dilate when looking at and biting toward prey. Small, glowing, neon-colored spores from Fungal Grotto dot the hair on their face.

When initiated into combat, a Phosbat will alternate between quick hops and waddling toward its prey. Once it reaches its opponent, a Phosbat will typically strafe around it while biting. Phosbats are easily vanquished, and swarming them will defeat them very easily. They are similar to Bulborb Larvae in that they can rapidly eat Pikmin.
